The review is fabulous. Enticing deliver of the content scoping the travels, exploration and the foundational inclusion of mathematics. I am excited to read this because I have a lice for the universal incision of mathematics in everything. I was particularly touched by the reference to his mother settling their foundation of ethics and character. Well written. Thank you

Strong family connections are important, and I can only applaud a book where the author shares his experiences and highlights this importance. I love the bit about the mother who wanted to be a teacher, who was a great storyteller and taught her children, giving them the curiosity for school and education.

Great reviews! It is very exciting and pleasing for me to read about families background, where they come from and how their lives are shaped by the environment, society, experience and beliefs. The author displayed how the mother had great influence in their lives. I admire how you focused on the importance of "Having a family".

Thank you for the thorough review. "The Wandering Mathematician" by Shmuel Kantorovitz is a well laid out autobiography. I like that the author includes a brief history of his family migration from Jerusalem to France as well as pictures. Despite the name the story does not focus on math and instead centers around his, and his family’s experiences and travels emphasizing the importance of familial connections.

Very interesting review. I wonder if the author's religious or cultural heritage is at all addressed in this book. I wish I liked math more, but maybe that's exactly why I need to read it - it might give me more insight into what mathematicians do.
